I believe that all-terrain vehicles are a good tool, but to go riding and climbing mountains.
Here in Argentina, they are getting popular in the countryside for rounding up the animals, replacing the traditional native horse.
But for that activity, they do not represent any difficulty or fatality risk.
When the activity involves more risk, then they stop being safe and place people’s life at risk.
With this comment I am not discriminating or offending the activity that is going on in different places with these types of vehicles.
It’s simply my humble opinion.
A warm greeting.

ATVs can be used safely, both for work or recreation. However, when ATVs are used inappropriately (poor driver judgment) or beyond their designed limits, then operating ATVs can present an increased risk of injury or fatality.

English Translation:
I think that the all-terrain vehicles are necessary, though it should be borne in mind that these machines do not apply to any type of road, it would be necessary to have a control on the part of the authorities.

English Translation:
As well as Juan, I consider that these all-terrain vehicles are an excellent work tool when used in a conscious way. The correct use is the one that will give you the correct use and with caution.

English translation:
The all terrain vehicles were banned in our town for a while by the irresponsibility with which they were used. We think they are a very useful tool for everyday work.
Good article.

Definitely these vehicles are useful in many areas. They should be used in compliance with the safety instructions.
In my city, there are people who use them on the road, which is very irresponsible.

Be very careful with these vehicles. Each time we see more on the streets of any city as if they were any aluminum bike. Near our blacksmith shop we have already seen a dangerous accident because of this same topic .. good article. Greetings!

Translation:
This type of equipment should always be used with great caution. In our daily work (We are dedicated to the organization of boat parties, bridal showers and bachelor parties) we have to use this type of equipment to access some visitor areas and to change some parts of our catamarans.
Always with maximum safety.

Thanks for such a great article. It is always good to remember safety measures when using all-terrain vehicles, and even more so today, people use them to work on the roads or in the woods.

I find it funny how technology reaches recreation applied at work. I think something sensational and put at the service of the worker machines so we can do things that previously could not . Further progress ..

Google Translate:
I always say that you have to use this type of vehicles very carefully, it says who is in command of a barge more time in sea than on land, but that is why I have always stopped taking the necessary measures when I have used them. An affectionate greeting

All-terrain vehicles are very reliable, but at the same time they are very dangerous. Most have no protective element against a rollover, and that is precisely the most common accident that happens to those who use these vehicles as a toy rather than an instrument of work, and believe me, a rollover in one of these vehicles is very dangerous And can be fatal because the vehicle crushes or passes over the driver and occupants.

Good Morning.
It seems to me a very interesting blog in terms of content, since it explains concepts that not everyone is clear.
All-terrain vehicles are machines that have to be able to handle, but with the necessary precautions, you have to take advantage of different jobs.
Thank you for your contributions.
A greeting to all.

Google Translate:
As in all sectors, anyone who engages in an area that can be dangerous should be an expert in it. It is as if you leave your computer in the hands of an inexperienced technician to make technical repairs; Each one must be an expert in what he does to ensure maximum safety in all sectors.

From Google Translate:
Fantastic contribution, no doubt the off-road vehicles and all the agricultural machinery in general and certainly very dangerous and must be handled having passed a previous basic training.
It is as if we believed ourselves doctors and tried to cure our evils, for example by removing a forunculo, without having specific training or to know the dangers that can lead …
